Hello all.

I've have a question about RB31DET's.

What makes them 31's, different from the 30's?

I have a series 2 N/A RB30 that I'm bolting a RB26 head to & putting it in my Z32. I'm going to be using forged pistons antway & was wondering if the RB31 is just a overbored RB30. I've been searching around on here & the interweb but can't find the info on what makes a RB31 a RB31.

Any replys would be graetfully received.

Thanks

Stu.

Thanks for the info guys.

87mm bore with stock stroke is only 3032cc, your far better to keep the bore as thick as possible and if you want a RB31 or bigger go with a stroker crank with custom pistons and rods etc.

Not worth the trouble/expense unless your after something different and even more torque than a 30.

A well built 30 is usually plenty in any case.

Hi Rob

Since no one has asked the question I will.

What does one of your RB33 stroker kits cost ? and what does it consist of ?

I am just curious as are a few on these forums.

Cheers

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
